a Schematic of Abbott Infinity DBS electrode with directional (i.e., anterior, medial, lateral) and ring-shaped contact designations (i.e., omni-directional) confirmed anatomically using patient x-rays, CT scans and surgical notes. b Proportion of sample’s clinically-effective contact orientation (in %) based on clinical settings at the time of participation. The greatest proportion of clinically-effective contact orientations were identified as omni-directional and laterally-oriented contacts (>76% of the sample).
